Bars and restaurants are due to reopen for indoor dining on Monday but some have taken the decision to wait another few weeks for the vaccination programme to roll out further

While many in the hospitality sector are making their final preparations to return to indoor dining from Monday, there is a growing minority that intend to wait a little longer before they return to full capacity.

Many of these say they are doing so on the basis that their staff, many of whom are in younger cohorts, are still awaiting vaccinations.
